The real MVP is their parents... Sleeping on a futon in the living room... Making sure they were exposed to all of those instruments growing up... Their mom even taught them how to write songs at a very young age
666 likes be careful.
@@JoaquinLZ Oh wow, I didn't even get a notice that anyone had liked it! Haha, wouldn't have seen without your comment :-P Looks like I'm safe as there are 667 now
💣💣💣
Jacob Collier swag
and they seem like really safe and encouraging people in general, they did a great job
Finally, someone who call him as "FINNEAS" not "Billie's brother" 🖤
he's getting the recognition he deserves
RIGHT
Sarah Firyal is he not her brother ?
@@Goose1162 he is but finneas is also a music producer and writes the songs with Billie. He deserves alot more credit than "billies brother "
Billie videos that’s the life you live as a producer. He’ll probably only ever be known as her brother until his own career sees some sort of success like hers
Parents slept in the living room so they could have their own rooms.
Damn good parents.
My parents used to do that... lol
now they live in a mansion. 😂 great investment it is. 😝
@@d-rosejames4553 they still live in same house
imaustie wowww. Seriously? with all those millions of dollars?
@@d-rosejames4553 yeah, her brother lives in other house with his girlfriend. But Billie still lives in the same house
Proof that expensive gear doesn't mean a thing when it comes to someone who's passionate about their craft.
It's all relative. What I meant is that what they have is by no means unattainable to most regular people and most of it can be found in typical music stores. It's not like we're talking recording a Dumble with a U67 through a Neve desk. Plenty of bands have done that and not sounded half as well put together as this.
Theres a good amount of expensive gear there lol! That seaboard is pretty expensive
He didn't actually mix and master that record. That's marketing BS to make them seem relatable, "this could be you." Check the credits. The mixing and mastering was done by pros. No one will like the truth, though. The mythology is too fun.
@@arthowardmusic3209 what he did in that space, though, was write incredible songs and capture authentic and interesting performances. (Almost) no one's going to mix and master their own record, let alone a producer. That's not their job. What he's showing is how he and Billie captured and fostered their creativity, not how a complete record was made.
@@KeithShelley1 That's not how this is being presented. They're not saying, "Can you believe these kids wrote a song at home?" The promotion is, "Album of the Year, recorded at home on 'prosumer' equipment available at any Guitar Center!" It's nonsense.
For all those who think Billie and Finneas hit "overnight success" should see this video. This is a lifetime of practice and preparation.
Exactly. Hence the 10k hours shot. Takes that long to master an art.
@@jonw8697 For real. But I think what's inspirational about it is if you're enjoying what you're doing and working with people who you like to work with, that 10k disappears in a flash.
Yeah right. It just they were so young when they started. I mean u can say Billie and FINNEAS were so young as an artist but just like what I said, they start so early.
Yeah; absolutely! I hate it when people think you can have success just by randomly putting things together with no real skills. Ok if you already have a famous family member or know someone who has influence in the business it might work, but otherwise it’s hard work.
True however 4 years is still pretty impressive to have your breakthrough in the music industry since many people never get their breakthrough
Finneas is the defintion of underrated
YESSSSS
He's underrated only by those who don't know the music business.
EXACTLY! He needs to be recognized more!!
YES
Firas Ajouaou True
their house is almost like an art museum, every corner has character and tells a story
@Peter Mertes Mmm, nah.
"My family is like one big song" - Billie Eilish
you are entirely right dude
My heart is this home. But my home is not my heart.
"I was given a gift of time and resources" - he seems very down to earth and humble about his success and obviously put in years of work, props
Quick frame of 10,000 on some home fixture in the video… an homage to Malcolm Gladwell’s “Outliers”. It’s obvious these two have put in that time…
Billie is super talented but idk where she would be without him. His production is so incredible and highlights her voice so well, he's an elite musician.
I mean they're basically just a two person band under her name.
@@danieljensen2626 yeah they are essentially but it is under her name so a lot of people don't know him. Even though I think he's the best pop producer in the game rn personally. Not that he minds I'm sure, making unreal money without the pressure of being a celebrity
@@killapositionz2 Yeah, he doesn't get a lot of credit, but I'm sure he could if he wanted to. It's probably partly an image choice, like it wouldn't be the same aesthetic if he was in all her music videos playing piano or whatever.
Not like other producers get that much recognition either though unless they're already famous artists in their own right.
Producers in general don't get enough credit imo. You can have the best recording gear in the world, but it almost doesn't matter if your producer doesn't know what they're doing. On the flipside, average quality recording gear can sound amazing with a proper mix!
@@troublesomesheep I mean a producer is a lot more than just a sound engineer who does mixing/mastering, but yeah. Especially in pop, usually the producers are the ones writing all the songs as well. But again, if they wanted to put their faces out there I'm sure they could.
He's finally getting the recognition he deserves.. and wow was this beautiful
Ik i feel like he never gets that much recognition its pretty sad cuz without him billies songs would be like missing half of it
@@dolphrat so true
woah 7k likes tho, okay?
True, like each of billie's songs are 60% made by him. He makes the beat, he writes some of the lyrics and look at all the credit he recieves. He deserves more. Billie is great too but we all knew that.
Avocado Pirate idk if you’re joking but he wrote sHE’S brOKen and Ocean Eyes which kinda jumpstarted their careers on his own
This makes me think what the world would be like if everyone could pursue their passion in a natural, rather unfettered way, apart from the structure and rigidity of a formal schooling environment. It seems that a lot of ultra talented people come from unconventional backgrounds like that.
The world would be a much more kind, creative, passionate and wholesome place:)
ClicheEdge Couldn‘t agree more
The education "system" definitely puts you in a box...
@@ilovemytribe a very small box
@@clicheedge yeah and less depressed suicidal teens trying to fit into a group of fake frnds and drama highschool stuff leaving them with less time time to figure out a passion
Imagine being their neighbours and listening to all these songs before they hit it big
As the songs are mostly whispered, they probably never heard anything, lol
@ stfu that's ur problem if you cant hear go clean ur dirty ears
Raul Cabral França 🤣🤣🤣
@@user-sq8nh3yl3o It a joke calm down snowflake

When he started to sing "Break My Heart Again" 😭😭❤
I used to listen to that song for so long. I didn’t even know that was her brother 😭
@@briga2785 "im find" part...And that was Billie
Jasmine Vang it kinda reminds me of “listen before i go” ughh both are so beautiful
but is it dodie yellow tho

Three pianos and no parent's bedroom. Now that is a lifestyle choice.
@@dopemcee At night, like most people
@@dopemcee lucky for the parents their kids passion drowned out their passion.😂
chris4072511 parents are both actors but never got any real fame. Homeschooled their children, and very purposely developed the passion that resulted in success.
A lifestyle choice with results.

You are appreciated my friend!
Hahaha! Thanks all. This is a classic example of a dude who researches way too much and doesn’t play nearly enough. 😂
Finneas has his place at the table. Everyone that has followed Billie's career knows of Finneas' role. It was NOT a secondary role by any means. Billie and Finneas are collaborative artists bringing different elements to the mix, a mix that garnered Billie the initial adulation/stardom if you will. And now Finneas is getting the attention warranted by his talents, his abilities as a producer, the singer of harmonies to Billies' songs, the guitarist and keyboardist on stage with her. What a pair. What a gifted pair of young artists/performers. Maggie Baird and Patrick O'Connell - their parents - are to be commended for nurturing such talents, such gifts in the children. Bravo! Well done! Thank you.
Exactly! And both of them always make sure to mention each other all the time and give each other credit!
but like, dont you think they QUALITY of your creations or what you do matter more than quantity? like he does many things as you pointed out, but if it all sucks then does it actually matter?
I think it might be my favourite video on the internet... It's crazy when you realize that they created the most inspiring album of 2019 in a tiny childhood bedroom that is filled with intimacy and memories...
lol yea
the fandom is real with this one lol
This >
Amen
mike hunt 😟😟😟
Finneas is insanely talented and deserves so much
ava muday I love both of them and it’s kinda of hard to understand how they do this in such a tiny room
ava muday ikr
They're unreal. So incredible
fuck yeah
he is good at music producing but he's not talented. I know more talented people out there that no one knows them and they really deserve this word
'If a cluttered desk is a sign of cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?'

This video is a perfect example
Lieke Janssen wow
Of an organized mind
A calm mind
My only question is how’d you even remember that quote?!
You just got fired!
Who is here after finneas and billie won 4 Grammys,
Hard work, true talent, struggle really pays off
Im glad
They won 5, and Finnias also received 1 as a producer. So total 6.
@@AM.000 no Billie won 5, and Finneas won 5, so altogether they won 10
Thanks for pointing that out, Jjlinny. You can see them both holding 5 grammys each in the middle of this video.. crazy!! :D ua-cam.com/video/S2dDTn3lrjM/v-deo.html
I was curious, so i went to the Grammy page right to the artist feature: In detail they both won the 3 Grammys for best song, record, album and Billie won best pop vocal album and best new artist and Finneas won best engineered album and producer of the year. Which makes it 3 the same price and 2 individual price and therefore 10 Grammys in total.

Two days ago, she got her 7th!
Finneas sounds like coming back to a warm home on a chilly evening that smells of Christmas and comfort and homemade cookies
feeling into words...so accurate!!
Yesssss
you win my comment of the day even though I've only experienced one of those things.
yeah, it's exactly that
OMG yes!!! That is exactly it, his music makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside.
I love how he recognizes his privileges that have molded their path to were they are now. The homeschooling, being about to afford a computer ect.
💯
Yes! 🙌🏾
And he humbly leaves out how he worked his ass off !
@I am a ELFfishHoneyCloudMeigeniToppKlass
Her parents are typical actors, meaning unemployed most of the time, with short acting jobs, voice overs, additional voice recording, etc. Only a tiny fraction of actors can support themselves through acting alone.
Her father worked as a handymam and construction worker, while her mother also got paid for hosting home schooling crafts meetings at home and giving lessons in songwriting, trapeze, improv, etc.
Not poor, but not with much spare cash. They live in a low-income and crime-prone part of North-East LA, all they could afford, a tiny 12,000 square ft. Bungalow-style 2 bedroom house. Billie had to work in a stable during the summers to afford horse-riding classes.
@@knowhere60 exactly. only like 1% of actors work in hollywood. sure, they live in LA, but that doesn't make it any easier to get those roles. most actors around the world work in theaters of varying sizes, and even having a contract in one is lucky. the competition is so tough and I don't think many people realize what it takes to actually support yourself as an actor.
Finneas has an insane eye for detail. He puts so much into the art that we don't even notice, but it really makes the music what it is.
I love that he acknowledges the privileges he had that allowed them both to create. Their parents may not have been 'normal' parents, but they were good parents.
Billie is SOOOOO fortunate to have such a wonderful and talented brother. She wouldn’t be half the artist she is without him omg.
i think she knows that he is a special one. maybe he is her inspiration for everything.
she has the talent he helps wrote the songs
Saucy Squad writing songs, singing back vocals and composing the music is talent too.
@@shqrdzz4848 you know you just sounded so shallow lol
she wouldnt be the artist. she doesnt produce any of it and finneas also writes some of the songs
finneas is so underrated sometimes but he’s so talented
"sometimes" is an understatement
@@ssnthyh3781 not really we all now about him and appreciate him least most Billie fans
Facts
unknown doesnt mean underrated
He is definitely talented
3:14 - Finneas singing that beautiful song, panning across the house with so much character and then the dog at 3:49 which has so much personality in its eyes. It was magical, almost giving me Les Miserablès vibes. So much emotion and deep rawness, I’m in love with things like this
💯

Underated comment
This dude is 22?! He seems 32. What a mature artist
Honestly I wonder if homeschooling makes stronger individuals....they both are mature and seem way more well adjusted to life than I would have been at 17, 22, shit I'm 33 ...still a confused fuck...lol
Life with me: Jessie Marie not always 😭 but yeah
Life with me: Jessie Marie depends on the individual tbh. My whole family was homeschooled but my sisters are so fucking smart and determined and I’m just not. But I feel growing up being homeschooled definitely helps your organization and self efficiency a lot more then just following school programs
He looks 35
Thought so too😅😅

It does if you don't have connections
John Maxwell lol
I love how with Finneas, you don’t need his last name to know it’s him. It’s just Finneas
This just proves you don’t need a mansion, a studio, or all the money in the world to be successful. This is one of the many reasons why I love Bil and Finn so very much.. there such an inspiration and there not all caught up in all that stupid Hollywood stuff... I love them so very much ❤️
Billy and Finny
Lacroix en fonte their parents are in Hollywood and they live in LA...
they still did have a good deal of money if they could afford those. they also had some connections from their parents
I thought it requires a like huge amount of money to have studio like that in home
No disrespect, but I'd say the general consensus is that opposite is usually true. People born rich usually live off their parents money, and so never really learnt / needed to learn how to put the sort of dedication in, that being in a deprived living environment and watching your family struggling will give you.
This is really beautiful. And insanely generous of Finneas to share his & his family's space with "us".
I feel the same way, like to share something so close to their heart as in a home where they grew up in is so generous
Blaise Arwyn Yeah both these guys talent is amazing!!!,
@@oracleangelsshiftall2609 both these guys? Billie is a girl
@@loudart5171 I think they knew that
My like went to 4.7k to 4.8k
More character and soul in that house than a hundred mansions.
felt this
amen!
Andrew Hearns not really, jus depends on the family
Modern mansions in LA have zero life to them.
Eh, seems a bit too cluttered and messy for my liking. You can definitely have a mansion and personalize it to your own taste.
After watching this I just wanna give Finneas a hug. Such a sweet spirit.
Whether you like their music or not, it is really inspiring, seeing that you really don't need a multimillion dollar studio. It's easy to lust after what you don't have, rather than use what you have to the maximum amount.
*Without Finneas, there would be no Billie Eilish, straight up.*
Jack Keenan And without Billie Finneas wouldn’t be the same. They complement themselves
"Without universal law there is no gravity, without gravity there is no atmosphere, without an atmosphere, there is no chance of life, without a chance of life, I don't exist."
Street Hierarchy 😂😂😂
GabryMG tbh.... he could have found another artist. No disrespect to Billie but good producers/engineers are definitely the major key. Good singers are 10 a penny
It's true and she gets the most attention .
It’s crazy to think Billie grew up and still lives in a 2 bedroom house where her parents had to make the living room a bed room, while being the most streamed female artist this year. She’s only 17 and soon enough will be able to buy her parents a luxurious home. That blows my mind, she so amazing.
She probably could do it already
i would not leave the house, even if being a billionaire. It has soul and is a source of inspiration.
💣💣💣💣
Artists don't make much from streaming
@@davidgibb4551 billies net worth is well over 6 million. Shes confirmed it herself
unapologetically the perfect example that it isn’t huge studios, infinite access to resources .. just raw talent and a pure work ethic
When parents are loving like those parents are then the kids can grow their utmost potentials into fruits of creativity.
that's what people don't understand... these kind of "overnight success" people... are actually the work of generations!! like, their parents make them compose music since they were kids, which means their parents themselves had to be somehow skilled too to help them/guide them... and both their parents either came from artsy families or fought to be artsy throughout their lives... it's not just a coincidence, and it's not something they started as a hobbie as kids, it's something nurtured
This is the video for anyone whose ever thought of Billie as an "industry plant." They've worked so hard to get where they are.
My words exactly. I'm just blown away.
they made one song and then interscope poured thousands of dollars into PR INDUSTRY PLANT
@@youngpocket7846 how do you know..? Do you know their exact timeline?
@@RobertBryk they made the song "oceans eyes" then got a deal with interscope ONE song now interscope is spending thousands on her publicity just in the last three months, shes been everywhere she could be even coachella but we willl see if shes makes more music she will stay around, if not interscope will drop her just as quick as they found her
@@youngpocket7846 I have a feeling even without interscope there would still be a demand and she could crowd fund a million no problem.
So glad to see THE room, where the magic happens... unbelievable how they made such an impact in music right in his room.

Finneas talking about how they grew up kinda brought me to tears. Like on one hand, Wow his parents did so so so much for them and on the other, all the music that surrounded us amazing!

I just looked into Billie and finneas the other day to see what all the fuss was about and, holy shit. Mad respect.

oh my god the song “Goodmorning” or something is so beautiful 😻
Break my heart again ←
Or whateverrrrrr
People don't usually acknowledge the privilege that is for an artist to be born in LA, so it's really cool that he mentions it
From: MGR why is it a privilege to be born in LA?
Broxine LA has the most street corners of any state in California implemented into its infrastructure. Therefore, there are many more spaces and opportunities for artists to play in street corners and out in public. By doing so, record label producers usually wander around LA and observe these folk one by one handing out record labels to those they like. That’s how Billie and Finneas were noticed. To this day, every street corner in LA has a different act/performance.
@@longjohn2404 my man out here preaching about the STREET CORNERS but its simply that half the music industry lives and works in LA so if you want to connect thats the place to be.
Long John looool if only you could hear how ridiculous you sound
Andrés thank you. That man was talking garbage 😂
I guess it doesn't exist for Billie without Finneas. The best ❤️

Imagine being their neighbors, hearing all the experimentation slowly form into individual songs, then listening to it on the radio a few months down the line
Respect! I ran a studio for 10 years out of my 2 bedroom apartment in the Seattle area. Produced 200+ artists and 10k songs. I can relate to a lot of what he is saying. We live in a great time for music and exploration.
Watching him show us how he makes songs, really gets me. Because it's not just sound effects and like fake. No, this is real. And this is all him and Billie. That's what I love so much about their music. Like I'll listen to it over and over and try to catch or notice little things like sounds, echoes, harmonies, bass, and like I hear them and I'm just like "Finneas did that" awe my hearttt😭😭😭💕
what mind blows me is that they make legit all their sound affects, crazy.

@@bitkibler7366 wait aren't you that huge fan that's following Billie's Europe Tour?
@Danielle nope sorry
He's half of her success if not more.
you sound like you don't think they know the score they carry. He would not be as rich without her... so it would not have happened.. value fluctuates by the second.
Morbid Man Music Nice try! You'll need more than that to change my opinion.
@@maxgemstone7257 bruh u alright? damn calm down and stop being a child shit
Dumbbish101 Say whatever you want but I'm 100% right.
@@maxgemstone7257 i'm a fan of both billie and finneas, and the striking difference between their music styles explain why their songs are being enjoyed by different audiences and how much billie impacts the production process (spoilers: it's probably more than half of it :). also, having strong principles doesn't equate to closing off your mind to other opinions, especially about things these simple.
When you have someone who's not selfish. He could sing but he was using his talent to uphold his sister. got encouraged today even though, doing music all alone with God I will conquer. Thanks for the gift you have access to those kits and space to do your music. Thank your stars you used the opportunity.
Billie and finneas need to sing a song together...like offical.
Aruna Chotak yess!!
He’s gonna need some auto tune then. He’s a great song writer, but clearly needs Billie’s vocals to carry his songs.
@@VeriStrawberi He doesn't need autotune tho. What are you talking about, he can definitely create a song without billie. But it would be better if they sing both in one song.
He's a great singer and doesn't need to rely on anyone's vocals. They're both talented vocalists and you don't need to say one of them is any less of an artist than the other one.
@@VeriStrawberi not really. He is billie's vocal coach and helps her sing her songs
No finneas without billie
No billie without finneas
They compliment each other❤
The coolest sibling!
( edit : wow thank u for the likes )
That’s so nice ☯️✨
I feel like finneas could just find someone else cause he has way more talent than just singing
❤️❤️ sibling goals
I kind of agree but on an artistic level I feel Finneas is fine without Billie as his music has zero involvement of Billie but Billie's music has 50-60% Finneas in it.
There is Finneas without billie
Their success shows that people value authenticity.
and what about the 90 percent of crap that shows success>? bad logic. people value crap mostly.. car radio time wasters. She and her brother are a pop anomaly
Dude turned his little sister into a super star. And let her take most of the credit.... that’s 💕
Finneas is so TALENTED!! Damn.😍
Don't wanna blame Billie, but as a vocalist, you can record vocals at a studio in 15 minutes, only because you got the voice. But as a producer, there is such an effort and time flowing in the creative process of building a song...
Finneas is really talented and the fact that they record in their bedroom makes it really tangible that you can have success without stepping out of your comfort zone, without getting too professional. I really like that...
True but Billie doesn't just sing she writes too and can play multiple instruments like piano
@@Moonlight-iq4wv And the ukulele like in party favor
Laura Yeah but without him her songs would just be A cappella snippets.
@@iemgote7249 no no no. Listen to the songs/covets she produced and made herself, like hotline bling, limbo and wish u were gay (before it was released)
Laura Hotline bling isn’t even written by either of them, it’s a cover with no production, limbo is an acoustic song that again has no production and wish you were gay was in fact produced by Finneas.
Him explaining how their sound is "familiar" really hits the nail on the head. I've always enjoyed their music, but never really been able to understand why I like it so much. That seems to do it.
I love seeing their home and how cozy and lived in it is. The cat the dog the dust. Finneas has mad talent. Love those two. ❤️
The dust remark reminded me of Quentin Crisp saying, “There is no need to do any housework. After the first four years, the dirt doesn’t get any worse.”-- lol.
I can't believe they recorded the whole album in a room. Top class artist.
pretty sure they record any album in a room :3
RobTFilms 😂 that’s exactly what I was thinking
jamba raz well I didn’t think they’d be out recording in a forest somewhere
@@playboismoovz9236 i mean i don't see any difference when i listen to let's say Drake with his millions and professional studio and billie's music made in a ordinary room
Its mixed and mastered by engineers Mixing can fully change the vibe.
Guy is only 22 and produces like a pro studio with pro team and pro equipment in his bedroom. Genius mastermind. Made his sister hit n1 song. Meanwhile I cant even give christmas gifts to my sisters.
There's a lot of producers that have done what he's doing before him. Grammy or not He's nothing different. But he got talent to make things happen in his own way.
@@creativegeenyus1819 I agree. He is talented for his age but let's not forget all the help from their parents. He was born into this musical environment and started learning at a very young age. Of course in 10years of hard work or more he ,now at 22 makes banger. but also there are a lot of talented producers out there who were not so lucky to have any kind of support Finneas had/has and everyone sleeps on them or doesn't even know about them. The world should stop sleeping on music makers
@@alexc9278 yeah you're so right , i was born in a muslim family in Iran ! ( in one of the smallest cities ever ) no financial support from my parents but finally got a old used guitar at 18 and started learning all by myself i'm now 20 but i really believe that someday i'm gonna be someone for myself ( i really hate to be that guy but can you check my stuff and tell me what you think ? )
@@creativegeenyus1819 J Dilla!
Don't compare yourself to others, you are just as worthy 💕
he kind of keeps to the shadows. he's a genius. more people will come to appreciate it.
Holy shit I never knew he sang/created the song “Break my heart again”
I’m so happy people are giving more credit to Finneas. Obviously Billie is amazing but so is Finneas. His brain is just- wow
I like how calm he is, he knows he has a gift/talent but is never condescending about it!
He and Billie are musical a GENIUS and a force to be wreckened with as one. Wow! Blows my mind how complimentary they are.
Their parents are the definition of parent goals.
Their parents are rich
Honestly Finneas deserves so much more spotlight. ( It’s not billies fault most likely either he wants to be out of the spotlight or the record executives prefer Billie as a singular image rather than a duo). But honestly I love would love to see them as a brother and sister duo (like the carpenters except shit doesn’t hit the fan and it doesn’t end in complete tragedy)
They said in a recent interview, he’s grateful he doesn’t have the recognition that Billie has, because he can have a normal life. Billie kind hates that part, that she can’t just go to the mall without being recognized.
It’s honestly the perfect match. The brother that doesn’t care for the limelight and is insanely talented. The younger insanely talented sister who is ok with it
@@sk8rgirly 💣💣💣
This guy is the man, I feel he doesn’t get half the respect he deserves, Billie is good but, without him, she probably wouldn’t have gotten to where she is now. Hes such good bro, bless.
Drake Vicorian maybe he doesnt want fame. I wouldnd want it. Im sure they spit billys income in three.
@@Broxine who's the 3rd beneficiary? The dog?
@@Kakashikewl Her parents or other family members maybe
He's the Oz behind the curtain,
she's got spot-light that is certain
But he does get his pro props,
creative performance ops,
Without having to endure
the hype-puppet pure
hell that sweeps you to the top,
just to watch a star drop,
Hold her, save her mind,
even if the darkness makes her shine
I agree. He deserves more recognition.
Billie and Finneas are the sibling goals and artist goals. Does that makes sense...?
All the goals!
@@beatgaragela exactly!!
I've literally watched this so many times...
Can definitely see why!
Thats a real Artist House, so small and untidy and dust everywhere
equinox sarcastic?
Lil Boitch nope
You don't have to live in a mess to be an artist 🙄
Like my house 🏠
Ya
there's gonna be a doc about this guy in 10 or 20 years. it's gonna be interesting. saying it first.
Yep, I agree. We might be watching the birth of an iconic songwriting career.
You realize that you're watching a mini-documentary.....right?
Ik this is a mini doc but I can't wait to see all of the movies/ docs about them, especially finneas
Yeah he is so talented
I mainly say it cause he seems a bit maniacal, like an evil mastermind....
the parents are the type of parents that every child deserves! That type of love is what makes talent.
I am watching this after Billie won the Grammys. Finneas and Billie very inspiring. Brother and sister production team. Hats off to you! Congratulations.
Episode 87: Finneas kicked out Ferb to team up with his long lost sister billie to create a multi-million dollar pop music empire. How dare you finneas, how dare you.
Phinneas and Ferb 😭✨
Seriously 😂
Pop? Lol
She ain't pop, broo..
She aint pop
1:48 this is such a legendary little piece of scribble on there. When you're learning an instrument, people say you gotta put those 10,000 hours to sound good and the fact that it's written down like that. man what an inspiration these people are.
Their parents raised them with little money , a lot of love, and good manners they are perfect parents
I don’t get why people keep bringing up Billie’s financial status and how her parents bought her into fame. Clearly from this video they weren’t living the glamours LA life as some people pin point it out as. Yeah her parents were actors, but they weren’t successful enough to make it into mainstream which is what people forget. There is a thing called working actors who aren’t living lush, extravagant lives.
Becky T Finneas has acted in some legit stuff. They have connections most musicians do not. That doesn’t matter too much anyway though. Connections only get you in the door. Gotta make great songs to last.
Finneas himself has worked hard and got himself opportunities on some pretty big projects such as glee, bad teacher etc. The parents however haven’t been in anything too notable. Which isn’t a bad thing, I mean they still could support their kids. I think people hear Billie talking about her spending at 13/14 and forget she was making music then. Or that she’s from LA and automatically assume she has connections. I mean maybe she does but at this point both her and her brothers talent stands for itself to me.
And even if they were so entitled who cares talent is talent money doesn’t buy it
Finneas was Alastair on Glee. Her mom was on X Files, and Mass Effect. Not to mention countless more things. They were very connected.
@@blossomblosh9992 Are you kidding? Billie's mom was Sharon on X-Files.
This shows you that they didn't just "blow up" it was a lifetime of work and learning to play instruments,it isn't just lyrics
This video has a special place in my youtube playlist. So honest, open and inspiring. I really, really lived it 🖤
There's a lot of kids who wished they had a brother like Finneas. Very talented, mature and supportive of his little sister. ❤️
their parents though .... they deserve it all. how beautiful
He's like the brain of all Billie's song and Billie is the heart who gave life. Both are working in sync so we have a great song from these siblings 💕😍
Yes, Gracious Grace... you nailed it.
Couldn’t have said it better
His humility and self-awareness is honestly so refreshing and inspiring in this industry
IKR. You should see the backlash he gets from other producers, especially the established ones even from his own neighborhood. I'm thinking of this one particular woman, who's done this lengthy youtube video to "prove" why he's not so "special".
Their mom acted in iron man 2008 .the 6 feet under serious.did voice acting for video games.taught them songwriting at a very young age n kept songwriting casses while homeschooling them.billy even worked on diary of a wimpy kid.byt respect to billie and finneas for finding the passion in the art their parents introduced them to.the passion is what counts.it therefore makes all the difference.
Finneas is so underrated
Grace O' Neill I see you everywhere
@@starburstconisseur lol Idk I just end up commenting on stuff and they get likes somehow
Grace O' Neill facts
03:48 the dog is like damn that shit's good
Pepper is so cute
Pepper is so lucky she gets to listen to some beautiful music everyday
Vincent Lambda your comment is nice but the replies are cringy lol
Adi Da Gamer eh not as cringy s as bts fans 😂
hahahahhaha
This video was so beautiful. Props to the editors and everybody else💕
You can tell that they are genuine musicians with deep souls. They are truly gifted and amazing artists.
now, this is the O'Connell family content we desperately needed to see.
I'd rather watch an O'Connell reality show than those stupid Kardashians.
beatlesbeats wouldn’t all of us here like that? :)
A tiny room can be filled with the greatest magic
It's just pop appeal, more magic in classic rock.
Their musics make me feel so warmed and secured at heart
I remember watching this for the first time when it was out and I was so fascinated and mesmerized by his work
i remember billie talking about she's more of a visual artist thingy.. then here's finn. such a powerhouse. elite vocalist + elite producer 😩😍
Jason Luna yea he the mvp fa sho, but Billie’s got that intangible thing that certainly is some kind of magic that can’t really be put into words 🎶🙃
I aspire to have a mindset like Finneas and Billie. The way they see different pieces of art is the most beautiful thing ever. They deserve nothing but the world and many amazing things to come. They will forever be my music inspiration.
The fact you made this comment says you have a level of understanding that they posses.
The gift of time and resources...what a great insight. I love what you've done with that opportunity.
Way 2 go - what an inspiring story of surpassing obstacles and not letting what you DON’T have stop you. I’m in awe of this guy and his sister ! Thx for sharing it.
Boy got a voice like John Legend
agree
agreeee ,I thought I was the only one who noticed
Yeeess!!
Damn.
I hear Chris Martin of Coldplay in him
